NHL News/Notes Part XIV

[slocal]

Great, more opportunities for Perron to run into Jumbo's shoulder.

 

[CrypTic]

Did the Pens just get fleeced? I always thought Perron was better than hagelin.

I don't think either of them are good but at least Perron's contract ends this season. Probably a(n) (internal) cap move for the Ducks. If Perron isn't awful, they might be able to re-sign him for significantly less $$. Maybe the Pens hope that Hagelin will play well for them or they need PK help (or will after a planned trade). I'm not sure why they made the trade.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I genuinely feel bad for Scott. He is a good guy. He has basically become a punching bag and laughing stock because of this whole All-Star deal which he really had no say in.

I feel bad for him, too.

I think they did.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Who would you rather have on your team... RNH or Johansen?

I read that Edmonton offered RNH for Seth Jones, but Nashville took the Johansen offer.

 

[Bizz]

Oh look, David Perron is on the Ducks now. Can't wait for him to run into Thornton and fake an injury so he can get him suspended again.

Johansen.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Perron blows. I'd rather have Hagelin. Good deal Pit.

Hagelin is basically Nieto last time I saw him play.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Hagelin is basically Nieto last time I saw him play.

He struggled just like every Ducks forward has, but he's a 15-17 goal player who is very very fast and is a great pker. Perron is soft and inconsistent.

 

[Barrie22]

Ducks fan bought a hagelin jersey and then finds out he was traded 3 hours later per tsn's facebook.

 

[Levie]

He struggled just like every Ducks forward has, but he's a 15-17 goal player who is very very fast and is a great pker. Perron is soft and inconsistent.

The Pens forwards have struggled almost equally.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The Pens forwards have struggled almost equally.

I've had this opinion about Perron long before he went to the Pens. Can't deny his playmaking abilities, but his overall game is lacking everywhere else. At least with Hagelin, you can tolerate his offensive shortcomings due to everything else he brings.

 

[Jwec]

Kings has resigned Kopitar for 8 more years. 80 million dollars so Caphit is 10 million.

 

[Barrie22]

Kings has resigned Kopitar for 8 more years. 80 million dollars so Caphit is 10 million.

With a no move clause in the 1st 4 years.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Front loaded, cap hit 10 m.

 

[Jwec]

Kopitar's new contract makes me appreciate Couture's and Pavelski's contracts. What for example Pavs would get if he would be UFA after this season. Maybe at least 8.5 million/year. If he would have been UFA 2014 and we wouldn't resigned him the year earlier he would've get 7.5 million/year or something like that. Stastny get 7-million/year contract and Pavs is much better player.

Which is a big reason the Sharks need to go for it while they still have Thornton and Marleau, which is why last year pissed me off the way it did.

I agree. We really should go for it this year and next year. I think our cup window is open at least these years if DW only want to keep our team competitive.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Devils beat the Coyotes in regulation. Sharks have a chance to get one pt back with a game in hand.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Former Sharks prospect

 

[rangerssharks414]

Also... Cam Talbot gets a three year extension with Edmonton ($4.17M per), and Steve Downie gets placed on waivers by the Coyotes.

Think about that for a second... Cam Talbot's cap hit is over a million more than Martin Jones', and the term is the same.

 

[weastern bias]

Jones' contract looking good

Never was sold on Talbot, right now he's getting beat by Nilsson for the no.1 job and is older than Jones to boot.

We paid more, but I think we also got the better goalie.

Guessing ole Konrad has an offer to play in Europe, thus the contract termination.
